Cable companies pay big chunks of money to cable networks (USA, MTV, FX) to carry their programming. Comcast and its ilk are none too happy when these networks then turn around and put said content on the Internet for free.

Maybe That is the part that needs to change.. the cable channels are already making a fortune with advertisments, why should Comcast have to pay for the channels at all. When cable TV first appeared in 1976 in Westfield,MA there were no advertisements on many of the channels. Your monthly subscription paid for the content. That was the argument made to my Dad when told he would have to start paying for TV. No commercials! Sure.

AT&T Makes Its Terms of Service Even Worse, To Discourage Lawsuits 412

techmuse writes "AT&T has changed its terms of service (including for existing contracts) to prevent class action suits. Note that you are already required to submit your case to arbitration, a forum in which consumers are often at a substantial disadvantage. Now you must go up against AT&T alone." This post on David Farber's mailing list provides a bit of context as well.
